    Found what I hope to be my next project, but the engine compartment appears to be considerably smaller than the on I already have.

    Dingo disc brake sticking

    All too aware of what a pain it s to disassemble the axle. I had to do it about a month ago when I upgraded to a 40 series T.C.. I had to move the drive sprocket to the right of the engine to get the T.C. to line up. Not looking forward to it.

    Dingo disc brake sticking

    Even with the caliper split in half you cant get the left side off. It is between the frame and the disc. You can see how little space there is in picture.

    Dingo disc brake sticking

    Unfortunately the disc does not move far enough to the right to give me enough room to remove the brake pad or remove the left side of the caliper. There is a collar welded to the axel.

    Dingo disc brake sticking

    I have been thinking about floating disc. I can't think of any reason that the disc should be able to move on the axle. I have to remove the axle to replace the outboard brake pad, should I install a locking collar while I have it apart?

    Dingo disc brake sticking

    Thanks Kartfab. Just pulled it apart, Understand why it has to be adjusted so I can't go past the point of no return. But I believe my main issue is the 2 piece brake pad. Time to order new brake pads.

    Dingo disc brake sticking

    Have taken the linkage apart cleaned and lubed all pivot points (I added stainless washers) the linkage moves freely. The disc floats on the axles, it also moves freely. If I have to pull this whole thing apart, thinking I might as well upgrade to hydraulic. Does anyone make a direct fit caliper?

    Troubleshooting brand new Predator212

    Are you sure it is gas that you put in it? I know this sounds stupid, but several years ago I bought a returned lawn mower from Lowes the repair ticket read drained kerosene and installed gas. They had two identical mowers with the same repairs done. I still thank that person. $400 mower for $125.

    Dingo disc brake sticking

    Pads are not new. How do you get to"the bullet"? I'll try greasing the slides. Not a fan of grease and brakes, but will give it a shot. Thanks

    Dingo disc brake sticking

    After hard braking the disc does not release as it should. All parts move freely. I added an additional return string, still sticks. Ideas?

    Sloppy dingo steering

    I came up with a plan to take some of the slop out of my steering. It involved brass bushing, drilling 3/4 inch holes, welding on support plates and machined stainless washers. I had it all planned out, and purchased parts needed. disassembly time, I'm ready to roll, and pretty stoked I might...

    When you know it was worth it!

    My neighbor took my dingo out for a spin last night. I recently up graded to a 40 series torque converter, oh and it has a 16 hp duromax on it. He screamed like a little girl, then surrendered cart to me. Proclaiming I'm "effin" nuts. I'm a happy man!:wai::cheers2: Funny thing its still not...
